From the grentest to the smaligat, happiness and usefulness are largely foudd in the same soul and the joy of life is won in its deep- est and truest sense only by those who have not shirked life's burdens. The men 1o honor in all this n the {ron years from 3 thelr shoulders the den of saving the union, They did mot choose the easy task. the difficult duty. ~Deliberately and of their own free will they strove for an ideal, upward and onward across the stony slopes of greatness. They did the hardest work that was then to be done; they bore the heaviest burden that any generation of Americans ever had to bear, and because they did this they have won such proud joy as it has fallen to the lot of no other men to win and have written their names forevermore on the golden homor roll of the nation As it is with the soldier, so it is with the civillan. To win sucoess in the business world, to become a firat- class mechanic, & successful farmer, an able lawyer or doctor, means that the man has devoted his best energy and power through loug years to the achlevement of his ends. 8o it is in the life of the family, upon which in the last analysis the whols welfare of the nation rests. The man or woman who as bread winner and home maker, or as wife and mother, has done 'l that he or she can do, patiently and umeomplainingly, I8 to be honored; and -is to be envied by all those who have never had the good fortune to feel the need and duty of doing such work. The woman who | has borne, and who has reared as they #hould be reared, a family of children, has in the most emphatic manner deserved well of the republic. Her burden has been heavy, and she has been able to bear it worthily only by the possession of resolu- tion, of good sense, of consclence, and of unselfishness. But If she has borne it well, then to her sha‘l come the supreme Dblessing, for In the words of the oldest and greatest books, "Her chiidren shall rise up and call her blessed;" and among the benefactors of the land her place must be with those who have done the best and the hardest work, whether as law givers or goldiers, “whether in public or in private e.

PAUL, Sept. 7.—The principal speaker of the day at the Labor day picnic here was Archbishop Ireland. He sald In part: Capital is stored labor; the fruit and re- sult of labor. Its right must be respected. A country without capital I8 impoverished. Labor should Invite It_into use; never frighten it away by making it unsafe or depriving It of reasonable profits. On the other hand, capital must respect the man- hood of the wage-earner and allow him, as far as it can without loss fo itself, a_fair wage. We ghould not be afraid of eapital, In whatever form it comes, whether in large personal accumulation, or in trusts, of In eyndicates. Without Jarge aggregations of capital, great enterprises are not possible and the country is mot developed. It is time enough to hold the hand against trusts and syndicates when they do harm. The wage-earner has rights—his right to & living “wage: his right - to reasonable hours; his right to more than even a living wage when ciroumstance and success war- rant 1t. Wage-earners have a right to combine to form trusts and syndicates and call them labor unjons. The destruction of unions produces that hateful individual- |1sm commended by Adam Smith and the Lancastrian School ‘of - Economy, which would reduce the Iahorer to a mere clod or a plece of machinery. Labor unions have given wage-earners ‘the corisclousness to their rights and have done much to ob- tain higher wages and shorter hours. But labor unfoné cannot be tolerated if they ipterfere with the personal liberty of non- union men, who have a right to work in or_outside unions, they please. The functions of law In regard to capital and labor are to protect tle natural rights of both capitalist and wage-earner, to care for the weaklings and the, unfortunate. Never should It go &6 far as to destroy or iimit personal enterprise or personal Nb- erty. ‘State moclaliam, allowable In things which ocannot be ‘done by Individuals is most hurtful when It goes beyond bounds, T do not deny the theoretical rght of the | wage-earners to strike a8 a remedy for what they belleve to be Injustice, but prac- tically strikes do most harm to the strikers themselves. Nothing has arisen for a' long time In the country which has done more harm in the pubiic estimation of labor unions than the condition prevalent at the present time in our large cities. Building opergtions have been suspended for montha and “he whole prosperity of the petzlo retarded. Public opinion Is favorably dis- posed toward labor. Let the workingmen appeal to the good sense of their employers, and if this is not enough, let them call ik a board of arbitration. I commend véry mich the work of the Civie_Federation of America. The power of a board of this kind, made up of wage- earners, employers and members and rep- | resentatives of public opinion, I8 this, that public opinfon will uphold its verdict, Wwhether against capital or against wage- earners, Notable Day at Cineinnatl, CINCINNATI, Sept. 7.~The Labor day parade and demonstration here was the largest in the history of the city, owing to the dual phase of the occasion. The Cincinnati fall festival opened today for twelvé days and the opening day was 18 rich or because he Is poor. becavse he is engaged In one occupation of another, be- cnuse he works with his brains or becaus he works with his hands. We must treat each man on his worth and merits as & man. We must see that each is given a square deal. because he is entitled to no more and should recelve ro less. Finally we must keep ever in mind tha republio such as ours can exist only in virtue of the orderly liberty which comes through the eoual domination of the law over all men allke, and throngh its administration in such ‘rekolute and fearless fashion as sha'l teach all that no man Is above it and no min below it. After the applause which greeted his ad- dress had subsided, the crowd called for Senator Depew. He spoke briefly and pro- nounced the president's address the best he had ever heard him deliver. At the close of the epeech the president, the state officers and the reception commit- tee were the guests of the state falr com- mission at a funcheon in the club house. From the balcony the party watched the races In the square ahout the reviewing stand there were fully 25,000 persons. Upon the stand beside the president were Sonator Depew, Bishop P. A. Ludden of Syracuse and fnfluential citizens. 1 “Men-and- Women 1in.Line. . There was never before such a demon- stration by organised labor in this city.

The president expressed his pleasure in a few words and the line began to mo Unilon after union uncovered as it reached the stand. Now and again the president shouted compliments ‘o a fine looking body of men. From start to finish his attention was never diverted from the workingmen. In the parade were a few floats with placards. One read: “The trusts fight us; let us fight the trusts by not using their goods.” At 11:30 the line had passed and the party was driven to the train and departed for the state fair. Parks Chee NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Conditions were never beiter than today for the cele- bration of Labor day, clear skies and cool breezes glving ideal weather for parades, excursions and other outing recreation.

Sixteen bat- talions of mustahafuse, or second reserves, havk been called to arms in the Salonica, akub and Monastir districts, and the ar- tillery and cavalry reserves of the Adri- anople and Smyrna divisions have also been mobilized. The commander of the Third army corps has been ordered to strictly watch the Ser- vian frontier, where it is thought revolu- tionary bands will probably cross. No si of Improvement. LONDON, Sept. 7.—The Balkan situation shows no sign of improvement. Indeed, in Constantinople, it is now thought war between Turkey and Bulgaria is jnevitable, but the Turkish ambassador In London in- sists hostilities can only result from an overt act on the part of Bulgara. The Sofla government, on the other hand, preserves strict neutrality, as advised by Russia and Austria. The announcement today of Bulgaria's attitude caused an optimistic tone in the papers and the mar- ket for forelgn bonds and government se- curities became much firmer. Roumania, too, is enforcing neutrality in compliance with the advice of Russia, hav- Ing taken measufes to suppress the Mace- donian agitators within its borders. The pope’s refusal to appeal to the pow- ers to act, save in the direction of stop- ping the massacres in the Balkans, s ac- cepted as evidence that even the Holy See appreciates the inadvisability of interven- tion at this time. Turkey s largely increasing the number of its troops In Macedonia, in spite of its depleted. treasury, and is determined to sup- press the revolution before the powers can intervene. In the vilayet of Monastir the rising has been ruthlessly suppressed, the Turks hav- ing burned many .villages and committed &TAYD. excesses. Coercive Action is Propese: BERLIN, Sépt. 7.—Russia and Austria have ‘proposed that the powers take coercive diplomatic action at Sofia, with the alm of severing the relations now existing between Bulgaria and the Macedonlan in- surgents. Germany has assented, but several of the powers have objected and the Russian and Austrian proposal, the Assoclated Press ls officlally informed, has probably fallen through. The Russian and Austrian representatives, regarding the necessary action against Bul- garia, reveal the attitude of these powers toward Turkey and the whole Balkan ques- tion. They afirm that Bulgaria has been acting In bad faith In giving secret coun- tenance to the Insurgents and giving them hope of ultimate success, thus rendering Turkey's task of pacification more difficult and delaying vet longer the execution of the program of reform accepted by Turkey. The language of the joint proposal a sumes that o settlement of the Balkan troubles Is attainable It Bulgaria is forced to cut off all connection between the two sides of the frontler. No officlal confirma- tion fs obtalnable of the Constantinople re port that Austria and Russia will ask the signatories of the Berlin treaty to sanction thelr joint military occupation of the dis- tutbed territory; but such a proposal is not consldered Improbable, SOLDIERS DOT THE HILLS Troops Are Ary: ed in Colorado So as to Protect All the i CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Sept. 7.—Crip. ple Creek's seven rich hills are today fairly dotted with soldlers of the National guard. Bvery large property is belted with a line of bluecoaty’ pickets and it is no exaggera. tion to say that one cannot go 100 yards n any mineral district without encounter- ing a sentinel. Supplementing the troops scattered over the district are squads of cavalry which will canter over the hills and make those points which no infantry patrol. Adjutant General Bell, who s thoroughly acquainted with the topography of the country, says that he has disposed of his men so that protection can be given all mines.

Bathing, boat- ing, foot racing, base ball, foot ball, dancing and tug-of-war contests comprised the gen- eral program, in addition to the general grist of entertainments pecullar ‘to the beach. Nor was the picnio confined ‘ex- clusively to any special observance. Many citizens and thelr families took advantage of the day to enjoy ah outing at the beach and numerous picnio groups added vivacity and interest to the occasion. The street oar lines to all the Omaha parks did e thriving business all day. Numerous private pienics wers held at the varjous parks, including Krug's. Many others took advantage of the day and occa- slon to visit the Council Bluffs parks and others went to Florence. Seuth Omaha Demonstration. ‘With 5,00 workmen in parade, with prob- ably 10,000 spectators lined up on the streets watching the march, Labor day's parade in South Omaha was the greatest in. the history of the city. The morning was bright and sunny and ali that could be desired. At 9 o'clock thousands of the marchers were packed into the side streets, waiting for the signal of thelr marshal to tell them when it was time for them to Join In the great parade. At about 10 o'clock the marshal notes of a band could be heard far up the street and the first divisiop appeared. First came the band and following it was Chiet of Police John Brigge, seated upon a charger, and head- ing the melect platoon of policemen. The first division, with Charles L. Duteh as marshal, formed on N street, east of Twenty-fourth street, facing west; the seo- ond division, with John Sherry marshal, rested on Twenty-fourth street, south of N street, facing north; the third division, with W, M. Tolbert as marshal, formed on Twenty-fourth, north of N; the fourth 4i- vision, with James Glannen as marshal, on Twenty-fifth, ‘routh of N, facing north; the fifth division, with M. J. Fitagerald as marshal, on Twenty-fifth, south of N, and the Bixth division, with W. P. Kerwh marshal, rested on Twenty-sixth, south of | N. At the given sighal the lines joined In the géneral parade. From Twenty-fourth and N streets, west of Twenty-sixth street, north and Twenty-sixth street to L and on L stret to Twenty-fourth street, with a countermarch on Twenty-fourth street te Syndicate park, the lines marched along while six bands played all along the lines. Crowds Are Large. Some trouble was experienced with the great crowd of spectators when the line of march was being formed. But it was all a good-natured crowd, and this feature was soon dispensed with, The grand marshal, Thomas Myler, with | his aldes, Henry Hauflaire and Stephen Vall, together with the different division marshals, were the busiest people In South Omaha. Mounted on beautiful horses, they seemed to be everywhere. And (o them is due much credit for the manner in which the program was carried out. When the parades reached Syndicate park, all disbanded.

Not Yet Ofter WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The State de- partment today recefved a routine message from Mr. Beaupre, the American minister At Bogota, acknowledging the receipt of Becretary Hay's cablegram of August 2, stating that the Washington government would enter Into no engagement which would hamper the president's freedom ot action under the law. This was all the cablegram stated, although it has been the basis for speculative reports about Mr. Beaupre's ideas of the Bogota situation. The State department's attitude is one of dignified patience. No indfcation of its course of action in the event that the Co- lomblan congress rejects or amends the treaty will bs forthcoming until the time for the exchange of ratifications expires on September 2. 1t is known at the State department that the Colomblan congress already is regret- ting its hasty action in rejecting the treaty, but the State department will suggest no remedy for the mistake. Once and for all the department has announcéd that the treaty as approved by the Washington gov- ernment was ratified by the American sen- ate. It is up to the Bogota government to ratity that idential treaty if Colombla de- sires an isthmian canal. The State department regards all the reports as to the connection of this govern- ment or even its Interest in the unrest on the isthmus as too trivial for consideration Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge de af- fairs, ndignantly scouts the idea that the United States would lend itself to the augmentation of this unrest. Commander Peary, who will make an- other attempt to reach the north pole next summer, stated today that the ship in which his expedition will sail northward probably will be called the Charles H. Darling, in recognition of the assistant secretary's interest and activity in the pro- posed venture.
